Overview

A walk starting in the centre of the village of Owslebury near Winchester.

We will follow the quiet paths and lanes to the north of Owslebury towards Chilcomb and Cheesefoot Head before turning back south towards Owslebury.

There are a few ups and downs with far reaching views through much of the walk. There is in excess of 1000 feet of ascents during the day so a reasonable level of fitness is required.
